In `@api/v1alpha2/etcdcluster_types.go`:
- Around line 339-370: Enforce strictly positive values for
DefragPolicy.MinInterval and DefragRule.FreeSpaceAbove at both CRD admission
validation and reconciliation, rejecting zero and negative inputs before
defragDue or rule evaluation can use them. Add the appropriate positive-value
markers to the API types, update reconciliation validation around the relevant
policy/rule handling symbols, and regenerate the CRD.
In `@controllers/defrag.go`:
- Around line 210-225: Update the successful defragmentation flow around
stampLastDefrag so a failed cooldown-marker write records a durable
pending/successful operation and retries persistence without reissuing the
defragment RPC. Do not schedule or select the member for another defragmentation
pass until its AnnLastDefrag cooldown state has been durably persisted.
- Around line 85-93: Update both defragmentation schedule parsing call sites,
including the validation flow around cron.ParseStandard and the due-check flow
near lines 301–306, to use a shared parser that applies the CRON_TZ=UTC prefix
before parsing. Ensure validation and due checks evaluate schedules in UTC
regardless of time.Local.
In `@controllers/metrics.go`:
- Around line 51-54: Update reconciliation to reset the metricDefragLastSuccess
series for the current cluster, then repopulate one series per current member
using its persisted AnnLastDefrag annotation, including after operator restarts.
Ensure removed members’ stale series are cleared, and add coverage for restart
restoration and scale-down cleanup.
In `@docs/operations.md`:
- Line 352: Update the metric description in the operations documentation so
etcd_operator_cluster_db_size_bytes and
etcd_operator_cluster_db_size_in_use_bytes are identified as having namespace,
cluster, and member labels, while etcd_operator_cluster_db_quota_bytes is
described as having only namespace and cluster labels.
In `@test/e2e/defrag_test.go`:
- Around line 93-118: The defrag test must first wait for DefragChecked=False
with reason ClusterNotHealthy after deleting member Pods, then verify no
Defragmented success is reported while that unhealthy condition is observed.
Update the loop around defragCheckedCond to stop treating Defragmented as a
failure once recovery begins, preserving the existing recovery waits and final
successful defragmentation assertion.

🧩 Analysis chain
🌐 Web query:
For github.com/robfig/cron/v3 v3.0.1, verify the default location used by ParseStandard and support for the CRON_TZ=UTC prefix.
💡 Result:
For github.com/robfig/cron/v3 (v3.0.1), the ParseStandard function parses a cron spec using the standard 5-field format [1]. Regarding the location and time zone: 1. Default Location: The ParseStandard function itself does not attach a specific time zone to the returned schedule; it simply parses the string [1]. However, when used within a Cron instance, the scheduling is interpreted using the location associated with that Cron instance, which defaults to time.Local [2][3]. 2. CRON_TZ Support: The library explicitly supports the CRON_TZ= prefix to specify a time zone for individual cron schedules [3][4]. By prefixing a cron spec with "CRON_TZ=", you can override the default location (time.Local or the location set via cron.New) for that specific job [3]. For example, "CRON_TZ=UTC 0 6 * *?" will interpret that specific schedule in the UTC time zone [3].

Parse defragmentation schedules in UTC.
The CRD documents spec.defrag.schedule as a standard cron expression evaluated in UTC. cron.ParseStandard uses time.Local when no timezone prefix is present. On a non-UTC manager, the validation path and due-check path can evaluate the same schedule at the wrong time.
Use a shared parser with the CRON_TZ=UTC prefix at both call sites, including lines 301–306.

Rebuild the last-success gauge from persisted member state.
metricDefragLastSuccess is set only after a new successful RPC. After an operator restart, every prior timestamp disappears although AnnLastDefrag persists. A removed member can also retain a stale series.
During reconciliation, clear this cluster's timestamp series and repopulate them from each current member's AnnLastDefrag annotation. Add restart and scale-down coverage.

Requesting changes — this belongs outside EtcdClusterSpec
First, credit where it's due: the safety model here is the right one. One member per pass, followers before the leader, refusing to stamp the cooldown after a failure, deferring rather than forcing on a degraded cluster, and documentation that is honest about its own approximations rather than overselling them. The reasoning in "Design vs alternatives" for hosting this in the operator — TLS/auth material and endpoints already in hand, whole-cluster view already available, leader election already free — is correct, and I don't want that argument thrown away.
What I can't take is the shape. Defragmentation is operational intent that runs on a completely different clock from EtcdCluster reconciliation. Reconciling an EtcdCluster is level-triggered convergence toward a declared target: it should be idempotent, cheap, and finish. Defragmentation is an occasional, expensive, stateful, ordered procedure with its own cadence, its own failure modes, and its own history. Folding the second into the first buys nothing and costs the clarity of both.
The API consequence is the part I care most about, because it's the permanent part. spec.defrag sets a precedent: every operational concern gets a block in EtcdClusterSpec. Next it's compaction policy, then snapshot scheduling, then rebalancing, then whatever comes after — each with its own thresholds, cadence, and rule sub-object, all of them mutually independent and all of them living in the spec of a resource whose job is to describe what the cluster is, not what maintenance we'd like performed on it. An operator exists to take operational burden off the user. A spec that grows a knob per procedure hands it back with extra steps.
Two ways forward
Option A — ship the CronJob, as #221 was filed. A per-cluster CronJob running etcd-defrag with the rule from the issue. Genuinely less capable: it re-plumbs TLS/auth/endpoints per cluster, it's blind to whether the operator is mid-scale-up, and it has no cluster-wide view. But it's small, it's what the issue asked for, and it adds zero permanent API. If defragmentation isn't worth a resource of its own, it isn't worth spec.defrag either — this is the honest floor.
Option B — give it its own resource. An EtcdDefrag with a .spec.clusterRef, reconciled by its own controller:
- The intent becomes a first-class object with its own lifecycle. Its
statusis the natural home for what's currently being crammed into a cluster condition and a member annotation — per-member progress, last-run times, outcomes, the whole ordered sweep. You get history and observability for free, and you can express "defrag this cluster once, now" as a one-shot object, which is a thing operators actually want at 3am and whichspec.defragcannot express at all. - The reconciler runs on its own clock and its own work queue, and stops interfering with the cluster reconciler's schedule and algorithm. Right now the two are entangled in a way that's already causing bugs (below).
EtcdClusterSpecstays a description of the cluster. Snapshot scheduling, compaction policy, and whatever comes next follow the same pattern instead of each landing as another spec block.
If you take Option B, one more thing is worth trying, since most of the work is already done: drive the trigger from metrics rather than from a rule embedded in the CRD. Thresholds belong where thresholds already live — in alerting rules, evaluated by the metrics stack, tuned without a CRD change and without an operator release. An EtcdDefrag that reacts to a custom/external metrics source (the way an HPA does) rather than carrying quotaUsageAbove / freeSpaceAbove in its own spec keeps the API to "defrag this cluster when this signal says so" and puts the polling burden on the system built for polling. It also removes the need for the operator to probe every member's Maintenance.Status on its own loop just to decide whether to act. Treat this as optional and gated on a fallback for clusters with no metrics adapter — but if the effort is being spent anyway, it's the version that ages best.
The coupling is already costing you
Three defects in this PR are not really independent bugs; they're the same structural decision surfacing three times. reconcileDefrag returns early from Reconcile (controllers/etcdcluster_controller.go:383-391) on paths that pre-empt updateStatus, and updateStatus is where this operator maintains Available, Degraded, readyMembers, brokenMembers, and the PodDisruptionBudget.
-
An unparseable
spec.defrag.schedulefreezes the cluster's entire status and its PDB.controllers/defrag.go:85-93returns with no requeue, soupdateStatusnever runs and the 30s heartbeat is gone with it. A cluster with a typo'd cron keeps serving whileAvailablereads whatever it last said — includingTrue/QuorumHealthyafter a member has died. -
The blocked-defrag path starves
updateStatusfor the whole degraded window.controllers/defrag.go:187-195returns with a 15s requeue whenever a defrag is due and the cluster isn't fully healthy. For a PVC-backed member replacement — tens of minutes, per the README — health conditions and the PDB stop being updated in exactly the window where they matter, while the operator re-dials etcd and re-probes every member every 15 seconds against an already-degraded cluster. -
DefragCheckedis a write-once latch, not a live signal.controllers/defrag.go:180-182sets the condition in memory and falls through, butupdateStatuswrites status only when its own comparisons changed — it has no idea a condition was mutated upstream. Reproduce by settling every fieldupdateStatustouches and running a not-needed pass: the condition is never persisted at all on a healthy under-threshold cluster, and after a successful run it staysTrue/Defragmentedindefinitely.DefragNotNeededis documented as a reachable steady state; in practice it usually isn't. (TestReconcileDefrag_NotNeededmisses this because it asserts against the in-memory object where its sibling tests re-Get.)
Under Option B all three dissolve, because a separate reconciler owns a separate status object. That's the argument for the restructure in concrete form.
Findings that survive either path
These are etcd-domain issues, independent of where the code lives — worth carrying forward into whichever option you take:
- The health gate can't detect the failure it exists to prevent (
controllers/defrag.go:129-146).Maintenance.Statusis a local read: a member answers it while having lost quorum, while carrying aNOSPACEorCORRUPTalarm, and while arbitrarily far behind in raft. A partitioned cluster with all pods up and reachable passes the gate. The response already carriesErrors,Leader,RaftIndex,RaftAppliedIndex, andIsLearner; none are checked. At minimum requireLeader != 0with agreement across members, and an emptyErrors. - No leadership transfer before defragging the leader (
controllers/defrag.go:197-208). "Leader last" bounds the ordering risk, not the leader-specific one: a defrag longer than the election timeout costs an election.MoveLeaderis already on theclientv3Maintenance interface. - The quota arm re-triggers forever with nothing to reclaim (
controllers/defrag.go:248-271).dbSize == dbSizeInUse == 1.7Giagainst a 2Gi quota returns true under both the default rule and an explicitquotaUsageAbove: 80%. With the 1h default cooldown that's an hourly stop-the-world of every member, reclaiming nothing, forever, with aDefragmentedevent each time. Needs a minimum-reclaimable gate on the quota arm, and a backoff when a defrag doesn't shrinkDbSize. - Nothing compacts, and nothing disarms the alarm. Auto-compaction is an unset-by-default user knob, so a cluster without it has
dbSizeInUse ≈ dbSize: the free-space arm never fires, the quota arm fires forever, and defrag reclaims nothing. And a cluster that actually reachesNOSPACEstays read-only after a successful defrag, because the alarm is still armed —kubectl etcd alarm disarmalready exists in this repo, but the operator never notices the alarm and never clears it. Either close that loop or stop implying in the README and runbook that this recovers a quota-pressured cluster. - The shipped alerts break under the ServiceMonitor the same chart ships.
charts/etcd-operator/templates/prometheusrule.yaml:20-22,32-34joinon(namespace, cluster), but prometheus-operator relabels every target'snamespacefrom the scrape target andhonor_labelsdefaults to false, so the metric's ownnamespacebecomesexported_namespaceandnamespacebecomes the operator's. Two clusters sharing a name in different namespaces then make the right-hand side ambiguous and both quota rules stop evaluating — in a multi-tenant install that's the common case, not the edge case. NeedshonorLabels: trueon the endpoint inservicemonitor.yaml(plus the equivalent for the CozystackVMServiceScrape), or a different label name. - The capacity gauges go missing for seconds on every pass (
controllers/defrag.go:125-127, re-set at:143-144). TheDeletePartialMatchruns before a probe loop that spends up to 5s per unreachable member, so the series are absent for up to N×5s each pass. Any scrape landing in that gap resets thefor: 15mtimer — the slow-cluster case the alert exists for may never fire. Build the new value set first, then delete only the labels that dropped out. EtcdDefragmentationNotKeepingUpfalse-positives against its own defaults (prometheusrule.yaml:45-47): it fires at the same 200Mi that is the default trigger, withfor: 30mshorter than the defaultminInterval: 1h. A member that re-fragments and waits out its cooldown trips a warning while working as designed.- No admission validation on the new numeric fields (
api/v1alpha2/etcdcluster_types.go:339-370).minIntervalaccepts0sand negatives, which removes the cooldown entirely and lets defrag run on every pass;freeSpaceAboveaccepts0and negatives through the stock Quantity pattern, making the arm always-true.quotaUsageAboveis properly pattern-validated — match it. scheduledoesn't schedule (controllers/defrag.go:291-307). The first run ignores it entirely, and afterwards the firing time drifts to whatever hour the threshold happens to be crossed. The godoc is honest about this, but a cron-shaped field namedschedulewill be read as "run the disruptive thing at 3am" by everyone who sets it and the docs won't be re-read. Either implement a real window or name the field for what it does. A separate resource makes the real thing easy.
Split the metrics out
The capacity metrics and the PrometheusRule should be their own PR against #357, not a passenger on this one. They're the smaller, lower-risk half; they're currently emitted only inside reconcileDefrag, so a cluster that hasn't opted into defrag — the one with no automatic remediation and the most need for a quota alert — exports nothing at all; and the gauges linger at stale values forever if a user later removes spec.defrag, since they're only cleared on cluster deletion. They're also spending #357's metric namespace and label scheme on one slice of what that issue asked for, before the rest of it is designed: #357's own strawman labels these namespace/name, this ships namespace/cluster, and cluster additionally collides with the external label Thanos/Mimir/VictoriaMetrics add in multi-cluster fleets. Metric names and labels are as permanent as API — worth settling with the full set in view.
What I'd approve
Either option, done properly. Option A is a small PR and I'll take it on its merits. For Option B: an EtcdDefrag type with .spec.clusterRef, its own controller and status, no new fields in EtcdClusterSpec, the domain findings above addressed, and the metrics split into a separate PR. The metrics-driven trigger is a bonus, not a condition.
Happy to talk through the EtcdDefrag shape before you invest in it — the API is the part worth agreeing on first, and the mechanism you've already written should port across largely intact.

Reworks the defragmentation implementation from the rejected EtcdCluster.spec.defrag shape (#361 review) into a controller for the dedicated EtcdDefrag API (proposal/etcd-defrag-api, which this is stacked on). The controller reconciles an EtcdDefrag as a one-shot, run-to-completion sweep: resolve the cluster; serialize per cluster (oldest non-terminal run acts, the rest wait Pending); gate on real health (every desired member present, reachable, alarm-free, agreeing on a leader — not just "Status answered"); then defragment members one at a time, followers before the leader, one per reconcile pass with the health re-checked between. A due defrag on an unhealthy cluster is deferred (Pending + DefragChecked=False/ClusterNotHealthy + a DefragDeferred event), never forced. Per-member outcomes/sizes land in status.members; phase moves Pending -> Running -> Complete|Failed; an overall active-deadline bounds a stuck run; ttlSecondsAfterFinished GCs a finished record. The rule matches the EtcdDefrag API: rule.all is unconditional; otherwise the reclaimable floor (freeSpaceAbove, default 200Mi) is always applied and the quota arm only fires with at least minReclaim to reclaim — so a full-but-unfragmented backend is never defragmented for nothing. Adds Defragment to the etcd client interface, wires the controller (RBAC + main.go), and covers it with unit + controller-integration tests (defrag when needed, skip below threshold, defer-not-force without quorum, failed RPC, per-cluster serialization) and an e2e retargeted to create EtcdDefrag objects.

Structurally this is what the split was for. The cluster reconciler is untouched, so the defrag path can no longer pre-empt updateStatus or stall PDB reconciliation; the health gate checks status.Errors, a non-zero Leader, and leader agreement across members instead of trusting a bare local read; runs are serialized per cluster; there is a per-RPC bound and an overall run deadline; and status.members[] carries real per-member records. The minReclaim floor does what it was meant to — a full-but-unfragmented backend is no longer defragmented for nothing.
Two defects need fixing before this lands. Both reproduce against the existing fake-etcd test harness.
Blocking
A NOSPACE alarm blocks defragmentation entirely
clusterDefragHealthy (controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:274) fails the gate on any non-empty status.Errors, and that field is where etcd reports active alarms — the API defines it as "errors contains alarm/health information and status".
On a 3-member cluster with rule.all: true and one member alarmed:
phase=Pending defragCalls=[]
condition DefragChecked=False reason=ClusterNotHealthy
msg=... not fully healthy ...: member c1-0 reports alarms: memberID:10 alarm:NOSPACE
No Defragment call is ever issued. The run sits in Pending until defragActiveDeadline fails it 30 minutes later.
A cluster that has hit its backend quota is the case this feature exists to resolve, and it is the one cluster the controller now refuses to touch. The gate needs to discriminate between alarms rather than blanket-refusing: NOSPACE should permit the run, CORRUPT should block it. Closing that loop properly also means disarming the alarm after a successful sweep — AlarmList/AlarmDisarm are not yet on the EtcdClusterClient interface, and without them a cluster stays read-only after the space has been reclaimed.
status.startedAt is reset on every Pending → Running transition, so the run deadline never expires
Lines 174-179 stamp StartedAt whenever the phase is not already Running, and the health-gate branch at line 150 sets the phase back to Pending on every blip. Seed a run whose clock already reads 25 of its 30 minutes, park it in Pending, and give it one healthy pass:
seeded startedAt 25m ago; after one healthy pass it is 0s old (phase=Running)
The comment on defragActiveDeadline (lines 52-55) states the guarantee this is supposed to provide — that a run stuck on an unhealthy cluster cannot hold the per-cluster slot forever. On a cluster that flaps more often than every 30 minutes, the run never fails and every subsequent EtcdDefrag for that cluster queues behind it indefinitely, including ones a scheduler stamps out. Fix is to stamp only when StartedAt == nil.
Non-blocking
No MoveLeader before defragmenting the leader. Doing the leader last bounds the ordering risk but not the leader-specific one: a defrag that outlasts the election timeout costs an election and a write-availability blip. MoveLeader is already on the clientv3 Maintenance interface.
Roles are snapshotted once and never re-derived. plannedMembers fixes each member's role at plan time, so "followers before the leader" holds only against the plan-time leader. Leadership can move mid-sweep — defragmenting a member can itself cause it — after which the new leader is processed as a follower while the old one waits at the end of the list. Re-deriving the leader each pass, or reordering when the current leader comes up next while followers remain pending, would close it.
MaxConcurrentReconciles is unset (so 1) while defragRPCTimeout is 5 minutes, so one wedged member stalls defragmentation for every other cluster too. Since oldestActive already enforces per-cluster serialization, this is safe to raise.
A failed post-defrag Status read reports a successful defrag as reclaiming nothing. b.after is pre-seeded to the pre-defrag DbSize at probe time (line 244), so when the read at line 198 fails, DBSizeAfter equals DBSizeBefore and ReclaimedBytes is 0. That is silently wrong in the field the per-member status design exists to provide; better to leave the after-size unset and say the read was unavailable.
Smaller things:
- The phase moves backwards
Running → Pendingon a health blip after members have already been processed. A run holding partial results readingPendingis confusing; the condition already carries the reason, so the phase could stayRunning. - Raft lag is not part of the health gate. A member that has rejoined and is still catching up answers
Status, reports no alarms, and agrees on the leader, so blocking a second member with a defrag can still stall writes.RaftIndex - RaftAppliedIndexis in the same response already being read. docs/etcd-defrag.md:133states that "a defrag that doesn't shrinkDbSizeis backed off rather than repeated". The controller does not do this, and inside a one-shot run that touches each member once there is nothing for it to mean. Either drop the line or move it to whatever ends up owning repeat scheduling.- A cluster that legitimately scales down mid-run leaves a planned member absent, which marks it
MemberGone/Failedand fails the whole run.
Test coverage
The six unit tests cover the sweep, rule.all, deferral on an unhealthy cluster, a failed RPC, and per-cluster serialization, which is a good spread. Not covered: TTL garbage collection, deadline expiry, and leadership drift mid-sweep — the second of which is where one of the blockers above lives.
The e2e suite went from two tests to one; the case that proved a due defragmentation is withheld while the cluster is unhealthy and runs once it recovers no longer has end-to-end coverage, leaving the safety property on the unit test alone.
Merge order
This is stacked on #362, which is good to go. Land #362 first; GitHub will retarget this to main automatically.

…estly Addresses the review on the EtcdDefrag controller. Blocking: - A NOSPACE alarm no longer blocks the run. The health gate refused any member reporting a non-empty status.Errors, which is where etcd reports active alarms — so a cluster that had hit its backend quota, the one case this feature exists to resolve, was the one cluster the controller would not touch. The gate now discriminates: NOSPACE is admitted, CORRUPT (and any other health error) still defers. After a sweep that reclaimed space, the controller disarms the NOSPACE alarm (AlarmList/AlarmDisarm added to the client interface) so the cluster leaves read-only. - status.startedAt is stamped exactly once, on the first Running transition, instead of on every Pending->Running edge. The active-deadline is measured from it; re-stamping on a cluster that flapped between health-gate blips reset the deadline every pass, so a stuck run could hold the per-cluster serialization slot forever. Non-blocking: - A failed post-defrag Status read leaves dbSizeAfter/reclaimedBytes unset (reason AfterSizeUnavailable) rather than pre-seeding the after-size to the before-size and reporting a real defrag as reclaiming zero. - A run keeps phase Running across a mid-sweep health-gate flap (the condition carries the reason) rather than flipping back to Pending with partial results. - MaxConcurrentReconciles set to 4 so one wedged member's Defragment RPC no longer stalls every other cluster; per-cluster serialization is still enforced by oldestActive. - docs: drop the "defrag that doesn't shrink DbSize is backed off" line — the one-shot controller does not do this. Tests: NOSPACE-admits-and-disarms, CORRUPT-blocks, deadline-not-reset-on-flap, and after-size-unknown, all against the fake-etcd harness.

Refresh leader ordering before each defragmentation.
plannedMembers records roles only once. If leadership changes after one reconcile pass, the next pending member can now be the leader but still appear as a follower in status.members. The controller then calls Defragment on the current leader before remaining followers. It also records the wrong role.
Before selecting next, rebuild or reorder only pending entries from the current Status responses. Alternatively, defer when the observed leader differs from the stored plan.

Reviewed against main at merge base a371f0c, which already carries the EtcdDefrag API from #362.
Green here: go build ./..., go vet ./controllers/... ./api/..., go vet -tags e2e ./test/e2e/..., go test ./controllers -run 'TestDefrag|TestEtcdDefrag|TestMarkMember', gofmt -l, and make manifests generate leaves the tree clean. I also confirmed empirically the alarm-string contract the health gate depends on: (&etcdserverpb.AlarmMember{MemberID: 10, Alarm: AlarmType_NOSPACE}).String() really is "memberID:10 alarm:NOSPACE " on etcd 3.6.11, and a.String() is what maintenance.Status appends to resp.Errors across the 3.5/3.6 releases — so blockingStatusError's substring match is sound.
The blockers below are the NOSPACE disarm path — the headline behaviour of this revision — and a set of documentation claims that the shipped controller does not honour.
Blocking
1. A partially-failed sweep never disarms NOSPACE, so the cluster stays read-only forever
controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:517-533
phase := lll.EtcdDefragPhaseComplete
for _, m := range df.Status.Members {
if m.Outcome == lll.DefragOutcomeFailed {
phase = lll.EtcdDefragPhaseFailed
...
}
}
if phase == lll.EtcdDefragPhaseComplete && df.Status.Defragmented > 0 {
if err := r.disarmNoSpaceAlarms(ctx, c); err != nil { ... }
}What's wrong. The disarm is gated on the run being entirely clean. On a 3-member NOSPACE cluster where two members defragment successfully and the third's Defragment RPC fails (or the member vanished → MemberGone, line 183), the run goes Failed and disarmNoSpaceAlarms is never called — even though gigabytes were actually reclaimed on the two that succeeded. etcd keeps the alarm armed until told otherwise, so the cluster stays read-only. And because terminal phases are sticky, this EtcdDefrag will never retry; the user must create a new one, which will find little left to reclaim (the successful members are already compact) and is likely to fail the same way on the same sick member. The one situation this feature exists to rescue — a quota-wedged, read-only cluster — is precisely the situation where the disarm is skipped.
The same hole opens on the deadline path: fail(..., "DeadlineExceeded", ...) at lines 128-132 goes straight to Failed without ever touching the alarm, so a sweep that reclaimed space on 4 of 5 members and then hit the 30-minute wall leaves the cluster read-only too.
Fix. Decouple "did we reclaim space" from "was the run clean". Disarm whenever df.Status.Defragmented > 0, regardless of the final phase, and do it on the fail() path as well (or, better, immediately after the first successful member defrag, since etcd re-arms on the next write if the space was not actually freed — that is what makes the call safe to make eagerly). Concretely, change the guard to if df.Status.Defragmented > 0 in finalize, and give fail access to the client so a deadline-terminated run that reclaimed something still disarms.
Test that fails without the fix. In controllers/etcddefrag_controller_test.go, a variant of TestEtcdDefrag_NoSpaceAlarmPermitsRunAndDisarms with rule.all on a 3-member cluster, fe.alarms = [{MemberID:10, Alarm: NOSPACE}], all three endpoints reporting a NOSPACE line, and the fake failing Defragment for exactly one endpoint (extend fakeEtcd with a defragErrByEndpoint map[string]error alongside the existing defragErr). Drive to terminal and assert len(fe.disarmCalls) == 1. Today it is 0 and the phase is Failed.
2. disarmNoSpaceAlarms aborts on the first failure, leaving the remaining members armed
controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:297-308
for _, a := range resp.Alarms {
if a == nil || a.Alarm != etcdserverpb.AlarmType_NOSPACE { continue }
...
if derr != nil {
return derr // <- abandons every later alarm
}
}What's wrong. AlarmList returns one AlarmMember per member that raised NOSPACE. A transient failure disarming the first one abandons the loop, so members 2..N stay armed and the cluster stays read-only. Worse, the caller (finalize, line 530-532) only logs the error, so the run still reports Complete — the status says the defrag succeeded while the cluster is still refusing writes. The comment above the function calls this "best-effort", but the loop is not best-effort: it is fail-fast with a swallowed error.
Fix. Continue the loop on error, accumulate with errors.Join, and return the joined error so the single log line names every member that could not be disarmed. Additionally, surface a non-nil result to the user rather than only the log — e.g. a Warning/AlarmDisarmFailed event via r.event, so kubectl describe etcddefrag shows why the cluster is still read-only after a Complete run.
Test that fails without the fix. Add disarmErrByMember map[uint64]error to fakeEtcd.AlarmDisarm. Seed fe.alarms with three NOSPACE members (10, 11, 12), fail the disarm for member 10, run rule.all to Complete, and assert len(fe.disarmCalls) == 3. Today it is 1.
3. Docs claim raft lag is part of the health gate; it is not
docs/etcd-defrag.md:105-107
Health is judged from more than "the member answered": a member replies to a local status read while partitioned, alarmed (
NOSPACE/CORRUPT), or behind in raft, so those are checked before acting.
What's wrong. clusterDefragHealthy (controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:320-347) checks member count, reachability, blocking alarms and leader agreement. It never reads RaftIndex/RaftAppliedIndex — the PR description itself lists raft lag as a deliberate follow-up. The sentence promises a safety property the code does not provide, on the exact page an operator reads before trusting this with their quorum.
The same sentence is doubly wrong: it lists NOSPACE among the alarms that are "checked before acting", while the whole point of this revision is that a NOSPACE alarm is deliberately admitted (blockingStatusError, lines 354-362). A reader of the Safety model section is told the opposite of what ships.
Fix. Either implement the raft-lag check in clusterDefragHealthy (compare status.RaftIndex - status.RaftAppliedIndex against a constant, deferring above it) or rewrite the bullet to state what is actually checked: every desired member present and reachable, no CORRUPT (or other non-NOSPACE) alarm, and unanimous agreement on a non-zero leader — with NOSPACE explicitly called out as admitted rather than blocking, and raft lag named as not yet covered.
Test that fails without the fix. If you implement the check: a clusterDefragHealthy unit case with three reachable members agreeing on a leader where one reports RaftIndex: 1000, RaftAppliedIndex: 100, asserting ok == false. Today it returns true. If you instead fix the prose, the guard is issue #2's / #4's e2e-and-unit coverage plus a docs read — do not add a grep-the-markdown test.
4. Docs claim per-member RPC retries and leader-only run failure; neither exists
docs/etcd-defrag.md:130-132
Retry within a run: a deferred
Pendingre-checks cluster health with backoff up to the deadline; a failed per-member RPC is retried a bounded number of times then markedFailed(a failing leader fails the run).
Three claims, three mismatches against controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:
- No retry. Lines 209-215: the first
Defragmenterror callsmarkMember(..., DefragOutcomeFailed, "RPCError", b). There is no attempt counter anywhere in the file; the member is terminal after one failure. - No backoff. Line 167 (and 121, 566) returns a fixed
RequeueAfter: defragRequeueAfter= 10s. The deferral interval is constant, not backed off. - Any member fails the run, not just the leader.
finalize, lines 520-526, scans all ofstatus.membersand flips toFailedon the firstFailedoutcome regardless of role. The parenthetical tells operators a failed follower is survivable; it is not, and — per issue #1 — that difference is what leaves a NOSPACE cluster read-only.
Fix. Preferably implement the bounded per-member retry the doc promises (a retries counter on MemberDefragStatus, or a bounded requeue before marking Failed), since a single transient gRPC error on one follower currently kills the whole run and, on a NOSPACE cluster, leaves it wedged. If retries stay out of scope, rewrite the bullet to say a failed per-member RPC marks that member Failed immediately and that any failed member fails the run, and drop "with backoff".
Test that fails without the fix. If retries are implemented: extend fakeEtcd so Defragment fails the first N calls for an endpoint then succeeds, and assert the run reaches Complete with that member Defragmented and len(fe.defragCalls) > 3 for a 3-member rule.all. Today the run is Failed after a single call to that endpoint.
5. The EtcdDefrag CRD still tells users the controller does not exist
api/v1alpha2/etcddefrag_types.go:39-46, generated into charts/etcd-operator/crd-bases/etcd-operator.cozystack.io_etcddefrags.yaml:132-137
// TTLSecondsAfterFinished records how long after a terminal phase this
// object should be garbage-collected — meaningful for objects a scheduler
// stamps out. NOTE: acted on by the (not-yet-implemented) reconciling
// controller; the API server does not garbage-collect custom resources on
// its own. Absent means the record is kept.What's wrong. This PR carefully strips the "inert until the controller lands" notes from the EtcdDefrag type doc, the CRD description, docs/etcd-defrag.md and the README — and misses this one. It is not a code comment: controller-gen bakes it into the CRD's OpenAPI schema, so kubectl explain etcddefrag.spec.ttlSecondsAfterFinished tells every operator on the cluster that the field is inert, when handleTTL (controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:571-583) now implements it.
Fix. Drop "(not-yet-implemented)" from the Go doc comment — e.g. "acted on by the reconciling controller; the API server does not garbage-collect custom resources on its own" — and re-run make manifests so the CRD picks it up. (I verified make manifests generate is otherwise drift-free, so this is the only regeneration needed.)
Test that fails without the fix. None — the guard here is issue #6's real TTL test plus the CI codegen-drift gate, which already re-renders the CRD from the marker. Per the repo's own convention, do not add a test that greps the CRD YAML for the string.
6. ttlSecondsAfterFinished is newly live and completely untested
controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:571-583
What's wrong. This PR is what makes spec.ttlSecondsAfterFinished do anything, docs/etcd-defrag.md:45-47 advertises it ("with ttlSecondsAfterFinished the controller GCs the record an hour after it finishes"), and the RBAC diff adds delete on etcddefrags solely to support it — but controllers/etcddefrag_controller_test.go never exercises handleTTL. Nothing catches a regression in the expiry arithmetic, the requeue-until-expiry branch, or the delete itself. Two live paths are silently broken-able:
handleTTLreturnsctrl.Result{}, nilwith no requeue whenStatus.CompletedAt == nil, so a terminal object without a completion stamp is never GC'd and never re-examined.- The requeue for a not-yet-expired object is
expiry.Sub(now), which is only re-evaluated if a reconcile actually happens — an operator restart betweenfinalizeand expiry is handled by the startup resync, but nothing proves it.
The same gap covers two other newly-added terminal paths with zero tests: DeadlineExceeded (lines 127-133) and ClusterNotFound (lines 102-105). etcdsnapshot_controller_test.go has tests for both of its equivalents (TestSnapshotReconcile_JobActiveDeadlineExceededFails, and the ClusterNotFound assertion at line 68), so this controller is below the bar its sibling already sets.
Fix. Add the three tests.
Tests.
- TTL: create a
CompleteEtcdDefragwithTTLSecondsAfterFinished: ptrInt32(3600)andStatus.CompletedAtstamped 2h ago; reconcile once; assertclient.IgnoreNotFound(c.Get(...))reports the object gone. Then the same withCompletedAtstamped 1s ago and assert the object survives with0 < res.RequeueAfter <= 3600s. - Deadline: seed
Status.StartedAt31 minutes ago with the cluster unreachable (fe.statusErrset); reconcile once; assertPhase == Failedand theDefragCheckedcondition reason isDeadlineExceeded. - ClusterNotFound: an
EtcdDefragwhosespec.clusterRef.namematches noEtcdCluster; assertPhase == Failed, reasonClusterNotFound, and aWarningevent.
7. The run deadline is not related to the worst-case sweep it has to bound
controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:49-57
defragStatusTimeout = 5 * time.Second
defragRPCTimeout = 5 * time.Minute
defragRequeueAfter = 10 * time.Second
defragActiveDeadline = 30 * time.MinuteWhat's wrong. These four constants are independent literals, but the sweep is strictly serial: one member per reconcile pass, each pass costing up to N × defragStatusTimeout for the probe loop in dialAndProbe plus up to defragRPCTimeout for the defrag plus defragRequeueAfter before the next pass. For a 7-member cluster (legal, and the size most likely to have a large backend) the worst case is 7 × (5m + 10s + 35s) ≈ 40m against a 30-minute deadline: a run where every member is behaving and slow is killed mid-sweep by DeadlineExceeded. Combined with issue #1, a big-backend cluster under NOSPACE gets a half-completed defrag, a Failed record, and an alarm that is never disarmed.
Note the reviewer-facing symptom: this is not a hypothetical timeout tuning nit, it is the interaction that decides whether the feature works on exactly the clusters it was written for (large, fragmented backends — the only ones where a 5-minute defrag RPC is realistic).
Fix. Derive the deadline from the plan instead of hardcoding it: compute it once when the plan is built as len(df.Status.Members) × (defragRPCTimeout + defragRequeueAfter) + slack, and store it (or at least assert the relationship with a package-level constant both sides reference so the compiler fails closed if someone edits one). Alternatively raise defragActiveDeadline and add a comment stating the maximum member count it covers.
Test that fails without the fix. A unit test asserting the deadline covers the worst-case serial sweep for the largest supported cluster: require defragActiveDeadline >= 7 * (defragRPCTimeout + defragRequeueAfter + 7*defragStatusTimeout). Today 30m < ~40m and it fails. (This is a compile-adjacent constant relation, not a source-grep — it reads the constants the controller actually uses.)
Recommended to fix (non-blocking)
-
docs/etcd-defrag.md:13-16— "A companionEtcdDefragPolicykind … is planned so the operator absorbs that scheduling itself; it is not part of this API PR." Shipped documentation should not reference "this API PR"; a reader on the website has no PR in view, and after this branch merges the page is no longer an API-only PR at all. Reword to "not implemented yet" and link the tracking issue. -
controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:180-185(MemberGone) — this branch marks the memberFailedand persists, but never setsdf.Status.Phase = Runningand never stampsStartedAt(both happen later, at lines 187-196). A run whose first planned member vanishes therefore stays inPendingwhile already carrying aFailedmember row, and its deadline keeps being measured fromCreationTimestamprather than from the start of work. Move the phase/StartedAttransition above thebackendByNamelookup. -
controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:206-233(status-update staleness) —dfis read at the top of the pass and written after aDefragmentthat may block fordefragRPCTimeout(5 min). Any unrelated write to the object in that window (akubectl label, akubectl annotate) makesr.Status().Updatefail with a conflict, discarding the recorded outcome and theDefragmented++; the member is stillPendingnext pass and gets defragmented a second time. Harmless in effect but wasteful and confusing in the record. Re-fetch and re-apply the member row on conflict (retry.RetryOnConflict) rather than returning the error. -
controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:471/parsePercent—quotaUsageAbove: "100%"passes the CRD pattern but is dead: the arm requiresfloat64(dbSize) > 1.0 * float64(quota), and etcd raises NOSPACE and refuses writes before the backend can exceed its quota. Either tighten the CRD pattern to 1..99 or document that 100% never fires. -
NOSPACE + default rule — on a quota-wedged cluster whose members are full but unfragmented (
DbSize ≈ DbSizeInUse), every member isSkipped,Defragmented == 0, no alarm is disarmed, and the run reportsComplete. That is the correct action (there is nothing to reclaim), but the user gets a greenCompleteon a still-read-only cluster with no explanation. Consider a distinct terminal reason (e.g.NothingToReclaim) and an event when the run completes withDefragmented == 0while a NOSPACE alarm is armed, sokubectl describepoints at compaction rather than at the operator.
What is solid
Worth saying explicitly, because these were the risky parts and they hold up:
- The alarm-string contract in
blockingStatusErrormatches real etcd output on both 3.5 and 3.6 (verified empirically, above) — including theNOSPACE-skip /CORRUPT-block asymmetry and theetcdserver: no leaderline. - The health gate checks leader agreement, not just "Status answered", which is the distinction that actually protects quorum.
StartedAtis stamped exactly once and thePending→Runningflap test pins it — that is the bug that would otherwise let a stuck run hold the per-cluster slot indefinitely.- Per-cluster serialization via
oldestActiveis deterministic (creationTimestamp with a name tiebreak), so two workers racing on twoEtcdDefrags for one cluster reach the same answer without a lock. markMemberleavingdbSizeAfter/reclaimedBytesunset when the post-defrag read fails, rather than reporting a real defrag as reclaiming zero, is the right call and is tested.- Codegen, RBAC and the e2e build tag are all clean; the e2e test fragments a real backend and asserts a physical
DbSizeshrink rather than trusting the controller's own status.
Addresses the review blockers on the EtcdDefrag controller. - Disarm NOSPACE whenever the sweep reclaimed space, not only on a wholly clean run. A partial sweep (one member's Defragment fails, or the run hits the deadline mid-way) still relieved the read-only wedge on the members it compacted, so gating the disarm on phase==Complete stranded the exact cluster this feature rescues. finalize and the deadline path now both disarm when defragmented > 0. - disarmNoSpaceAlarms is now truly best-effort: it continues past a transient disarm failure on one member, joins the errors naming each, and surfaces an AlarmDisarmFailed event so a still-read-only cluster after a Complete run is visible in kubectl describe. - The active deadline is derived from the worst-case serial sweep for the largest supported cluster (defragMaxSupportedMembers) instead of a bare 30m literal that a 7-member big-backend run overran, killing a healthy sweep mid-flight. A constant-relation test pins it. - StartedAt/Running is stamped before the backend lookup so a run whose first planned member has vanished is still measured from work, not creation. - Docs: the safety model no longer claims raft-lag is gated or that NOSPACE blocks; the retry section states the shipped behaviour (a failed per-member RPC fails the run, no backoff) instead of promising retries that do not exist; the scheduling note drops the "this API PR" framing. - CRD: drop the stale "(not-yet-implemented)" note from ttlSecondsAfterFinished now that handleTTL acts on it; regenerated. - Tests: partial-failure disarm, disarm-continues-after-failure, TTL GC, DeadlineExceeded, ClusterNotFound, and the deadline/worst-case relation.

Do not state that the deadline covers the initial health wait.
The controller sets StartedAt only when the run enters Running. If the first health check fails, the object remains Pending with StartedAt == nil, so the active deadline does not bound that initial wait. The run can continue to hold the per-cluster serialization slot while this text says the deadline protects it. Either start the deadline before health gating, or document that the deadline starts only after the first Running transition.

… conflict Two non-blocking items from the review. - quotaUsageAbove: "100%" passed the CRD pattern but could never fire — a backend never exceeds its quota (etcd raises NOSPACE first), so the quota arm's dbSize > 1.0*quota test is always false. Tighten the pattern to 1..99 and the parsePercent fallback to match, so the dead value is rejected at admission instead of silently doing nothing. - persistAndRequeue now re-fetches and re-applies the computed status on a conflict (retry.RetryOnConflict) instead of returning the error. A member's Defragment RPC can block for defragRPCTimeout; an unrelated metadata write in that window would otherwise discard the recorded outcome and the run would defragment the member a second time next pass.
